IoxDoN. April 26.-The Germans w
set trouble themselves to justify to the woi,u
arrest Of NJ. Schnaebeles. Prince Bismarck ioi

snread their own version all over EUROPE :"
o,,d no moro correct to say versions, Tor french
accounts do not agree, do Paris correspondents
all toll the same story. Tho fault with many Oh
them is TRYING to prove too much. Prince DIS
marc,x is reported to-day to have sent dispa.ch
repretting irregularities in the arrest, out Say
nothing about release. NJ. Schnaepeies apee"is
nv all accounts to have been engaged ioie -''"
actively in encouraging desertions among the der
man troors and otherwise disturbing the peace
the Germans are trying to establish in Alsace
Lorraine. Berlin correspondents think the weish.
Of evidence is that NJ. Schnaebeles was arresoed
on German territory. That is really the only
serious question at issue. Inc ropes oher VI
mediation seems premature. Prince bismarck hse
practically said NJ. Schnaebcles will be sene oacN
if he was wrongfully seized, but trled oy "erii"n

To-days report is that Mr.. OBrien's projected
visit TO Canada has been vetoed by the Irish Far
lamentary leaders, The Liberals think they
have done wisely. The alliance between ehe
Liberals and Parnellites would not be strength
ened by a tour of the kind Mr.. O'Brien is sup
posed to have contemplated.
Mr.. Gladstone's attack on Mr.. Goschen's Budget
S none the less effective from the moderation with
which it was made. He opposed, as was expected
suspension of the Sinking Fund, admitting at the
same time that the income tax ought to be 1sho-
ened, but not pointing out how reduction couid pe
effected otherwise than as Mr.. Goschen proposes
The general recommendation OF recovering IN eA
penditure is not thought adequate. Mr. Glad
stones speech was quite in his old form when
handling financial subjects. Lord Randolph
Chirchills light artillery was brought to beal
with considerably less effect. Mr. Goschen's reply
to both speeches is that of man perfectly conf
dent of the soundness of his own scheme, which
is certain to be supported by large majority OF
the House of Commons. To Mr.. Gladstone's cr1tf'
rism on the diminution Of the service for The
National debt Mr. Goschens answer was that IN
1874, when Mr.. Gladstone proposed to abolish 'he
income tax, the sum then affected to repayment
of the debt was three millions sterling yearly,
While it Is now seven millions.
Mr.. Chamberlain continues his Scotch tour and
his Scotch speeches. The latter are perhaps less
eombative in tone toward his former colleagues
His reply to Mr.. Gladstones speech at the Eighty
Club is not exactly contradiction All Mr..
Chamberlain says is that Mr.. Gladstone's conclla
tory proposals were not made to him. fhere d.
/ think in any case no likelihood whatever that
negotiations will be resumed at present Mr
Gladstone may not think it impossible to come tc
terms ultimately with Mr.. Chamberlain, even on
the question of Home Rule But he sees no ad'
vantage while parties remain as they are ID
in drafting another scheme of self-government fol
ireland.

times past was VIGOROUSLY corrupt but it seems
doubtful whether this petition will now be pro-

The womens jubilee gift to the Queen promises
TO be great success financially One dlstin'
euished lady, to whom the origin OF this project
is due, has collected and paid in $4,000. Money
is now coming in at the rate Of $4,000 day, ana

The st Jamcs's Palace dinner continues to pro
woke much disrespectful comment. 1t is admitted
that the Knights of st. Michael and st. George
and others who were invited had TO pay for theiI
dinner. There are radicals who want to know
whether the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cam
bridge paid for theirs.
The appalling story appears in "Thc STANDARD
that an American gentleman not named has com
missioned Mr.. Herbert, II. A., to finish series OF
pictures originally intended for the House of Lords
the fist of which, Moses Bringing the Tables OF
the Law from Mount Sinai, this remarkable Ameri'
can has actually bought. He has given Mr.. Her
bert an order for three others Of the same sze and
four more Of less dimensions and means the entire
collection to form the nucleus OF an art college In
America. MIR. Herbert's fresco Of Moses, in the
Robing Room of the House Of Lords. is respect
able work Of art painted when this artist was in
the prime Of such power as he had. But his pct
ures exhibited in late years at the Royal Academy
have been the scon Of London The report ap
peas elsewhere that the price paid is 100000.
II this is true tlis gcntlcman's friends ought to
send for him TO come home.
An advertisement Of the American Exhibition
Is now published in the English papers. Buffalo
bill is an integral part of the show. II rot the
largest part. The management put him forward
in way which seems to indicate that they be.
